Publisher's summary

Welcome to the most dangerous town in the West. For Marshal Bob Hatfield, that means rough justice and 100 ways to die...

In the shadow of the Prophecy Mountains, the ramshackle boomtown of Rattlesnake Wells draws schemers, predators, and desperate pilgrims. As for the law, that's the town marshal, a former Texas outlaw trying to make a new life for himself. But Sundown Bob Hatfield knows a man who's slick on the draw can't escape trouble for long. In Rattlesnake Wells, you fight fire with fire - and a new one has just exploded.

An enterprising saloon owner stages a shooting contest with a matched pair of gold-plated revolvers as first prize. But some contestants don't play by the rules, and these aren't just any old gold-plated guns. Now the guns are gone, innocent hostages have been taken for a violent ride, and a chase is on into the vast Wyoming wilderness - where a terrifying dark secret will be exposed, much blood will be spilled, and a fast-gun marshal will bring the real outlaws to their knees...

A honorable Lawman fights to protect his town and those he loves in the violent and currupt west.

The characters were vibrant and excellently painted. A gun- smoke strong sheriff and a steadfast women, waiting for the Lawman to have the courage to open his heart. A fun action pack listen.

Like all Johnstone books

This narrator is dull and monotonous. Makes it hard to follow the story. But good book think I read these books on Kindle. They are all good

Who REALLY wrote this?

Brad Dennison?

I know JA Johnstone can’t turn out the amount of novels attributed to her. Each series seems to have a flavor and spirit of their own.

I like this series a lot. As always I enjoy the narration by J. Rodney Turner. Not a lot of foot dragging in the action, a little too much in the romance department. All in all an interesting story.

Missed hearing about Peter and Vern’s uncle and younger brother!

Bad language.

Disappointing language in an otherwise good story.
Using the Lords name in vain just hits a nerve. I’m sure the author could substitute other words for those.
